Klein fears CHANGE and, perhaps, feelings of obsolescence.

I fear that Leonard H. Anderson will go to his reward without ever
having obtained an amateur radio license.

Oh, no, Kernal Klink is trying to manufacture a "motive" of
his own imagining. Tsk, tsk. He gets it WRONG.

Klink, can't you get ANYTHING right?

My purpose in here is trying to get the morse code test(s)
reduced to zero. It is down to just 1 now.

Tell us all (from your imagination) why one "should" get
an amateur radio license. I am a professional in
electronics, have had my Commercial license since 1956,
am retired from a career in aerospace electronics with
a nice income.

I don't NEED a ham license nor am I trying to get one.
I'm trying to change the federal law concerning all
ham-hobbyists being required to test for morse in this
advanced time of the new millennium.

Not to worry, Klink, I'll be watching the US Post Office
walls for YOUR "reward." :-)


Someone who has been a regular worker in electronics (radio is a
subset of electronics) ought to damn well know and recognize
that the state of the art in electronics has been CONSTANTLY
changing. It's sometimes a chore to keep up, whether it be
1950 or 2000 or any time in-between.

Don't let us stop you from tending to your chores, Len.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

You couldn't possible do that. :-)


When in doubt of an effective reply, these Fundamentalist Morseodists
must resort to some form of denigration. Sigh, they never learn...

That's all you've done since your recent reappearance here, Major Hoople.

Oh, poor baby! Colonel Klink is bent out of shape because
no one loves and adores him and his morsemanship? Tsk, tsk.


Some of these Olde Fahrts seem to think their amateurism is on
some kind of "higher plane" than ordinary, plebian, work.

Obtaining an amateur radio license *is* work, Len.

How much DOES it pay?

Some of the amateur radio activities we partcipate in are *are* work.

Minimum wage?

The work isn't compensated.

Awwwwwww! Imagine that, a NON-professional amateur! :-)

You keep right on looking down your Imperial nose at all us
who aren't federally licensed as super-dooper morsemen. It
makes you feel all warm and toasty, does it? I'll bet you
run around and make like a Prussian feldoffizier to all
other hams not wanting morse. "For the "love of it?" :-)


It is performed for the love of it. If you ever hope to
obtain an amateur radio license, you'll have to indulge in some
ordinary, plebian work.

No, I won't, Kernal Klunk.

I didn't parlay a disk jockey job into fleecing the State
Department in being resident ham DX. Cushy. Now you are
getting a pension for all that "hard work." Taxpayers are
paying you. Hardly "plebian" of YOU, is it?

But, having NO answers to my remarks, you made up a lot of
scurrilous snit on your own. "For the love of it?"

Must have been...it sure as hell had NO ring of "diplomacy" to
it. Didn't learn much about diplomacy at State, Klank?

Next time, Coolonell, try TRY to answer some of the topics
that were addressed...even if NOT to you. Do it "for the
love of it."

Fork you, you're done...
